dude this is so cool

[sly palm]

[silent wadi]

if kois are so similar to owlab ti can you use that?

[sly palm]

They are to special for wooting

[lyric nimbus]

idk what to do now

[glacial wind]

You can use it but it won’t be perfect typically

Might be minor differences in magnetic flux

[robust siren]

im not even using kois on my wooting atm but maybe after i mod the 80he

[sly palm]

Make a V2 of your case

[lyric nimbus]

damn

how would i improve it

[silent wadi]

magnetic flux 😭

[robust siren]

make it out of gold

[glacial wind]

The switch selector is the reason we were able to drop deadzone from 0.2 to 0.02 basically

[silent wadi]

0.02 is genuinly insane

[cloud crane]

Make it PEI bottom Alu top

[sly palm]

Make a Aluminium one
Your case hella sick already, but I guess there is always a improvement like they are doing a GT60v2 after.. a year

[silent wadi]

what ru using?

[robust siren]

im using kois on the rakka pcb i talked about earlier

[silent wadi]

ohh yeah i remember

[glacial wind]

I’m also sending off ur ice ultra v2 to check vs our curve now

To see if it needs updating or not

[silent wadi]

im going to sleep

gn

[glacial wind]

That’s your future

[sly palm]

sno, may I ask if you still snowboard?
I never did something like this but I am kinda excited to try it later on in life

[glacial wind]

All 12 switch types being sent over for checking

[glacial wind]

Yeah I just came back from ski trip a couple weeks ago

[uneven cradle]

come back to Wanaka

[glacial wind]

Went with the vct valorant folks, lemme see if I can find the TikTok

[robust siren]

When waves become snow. First VCTPacific/LCK snowboarding trip of the year 🇰🇷. We have some new additions!
Checking out the KR winter Olympics slopes. Pow isnt a thing in Korea, it seems. But great place to work on carving or for short trips! More to come.

[robust siren]

havent seen the grass in 4 weeks and when we finally do it snows over a foot again

[sly palm]

Damn, how was shoveling the snow tho?

[robust siren]

there wasnt too much but when we wake up tomorrow its gonna be

its bad to the point theres a travel ban from 9pm(sun)-12pm(mon)

[sly palm]

That looks awesome
I love the snow, it's soft but cold

[chilly mural]

Someday I'll be able to see snow in person (tropical island moment)

[uneven cradle]

you just need to come to NZ we have nice hard snow

[sly palm]

Don't come to Germany.. when we have snow it will get most likely to ice
I fell on my ass and almost broke my arm this year

[fluid ravine]

oh..

i felt that

[robust siren]

milk deficiency

[chilly mural]

Good to know, maybe Korea/Japan would be nicer plus it's closer

[sly palm]

Yea was in december
Couldn't really do shit for 2/3 weeks
Not even game

[sly palm]

I would love to visit Japan ngl, korea too. Asia is just pretty cool

[uneven cradle]

my friends from NZ went to japan and said compared to here the snow is super soft/powdery

[robust siren]

one of my neighbors doesnt shovel so all the snow becomes compacted into superhard ice and i slipped on it

[fluid ravine]

hows the arm now?

[robust siren]

as soon as i felt my foot sliding i was like “ah fuck.”

[sly palm]

Uhhh it's fine, can use it like normal again, hows yours?

[fluid ravine]

same here
got the ok to play volleyball so i should be good

[cloud crane]

Yeah, thats about it tho

Story is meh

[robust siren]

[sly palm]

Hellbombing clankers is more fun

[robust siren]

[sly palm]

[robust siren]

okay anyways

time to read

[glacial wind]

Alright next batch of switches is on the way to switch selector team

[broken notch]

Wooo

Ufo

[glacial wind]

So hopefully will be added in the next month-ish

All silent options were also sent but still unsure when we’ll be able to add them as they’re quite inconsistent at top/bottom

[regal patio]

In Eastern Europe the snow hasn't melted for 2 months

And there was -28C° oneday

[fluid ravine]

oh hell yeah my keebmat arrived to my city finally

10 days

[glacial wind]

List of switches up for next switch selector update that were sent today (silent options are still questionable for ability to be added):

• Keytok Nova
• Gravastar UFO
• TTC Flip KOM
• TTC Year of the Horse
• Unionwell Snow/xueyao
• Wuque Diamond (no I can’t give you more info until they release info themselves)
• UR Ice Ultra r2 (updated version of ur ice ultra)
• Gateron Jade Emerald (we just wanted to see how it performs as a tactile switch)
• NDIY Freya HE
• XVX HE
• Outemu Peach Silent

[regal patio]

So the wuque diamonds will be added when they release basically?

[glacial wind]

Depends on how long things take/how popular they are

I don’t know when they’re being released exactly but no harm being ready for future

[young viper]

but like this place has no cooldown so like

[fluid ravine]

@glacial wind i was looking through Alexotos showcase channel, i saw someones vella60 and in the description it stated gat milky yellow HE. Any info on those? Looking at it rn

awe mane its your typical pom pc and pa66 setup as well

i thought itd be like actually milky yellows

fawk

[glacial wind]

There just recolor type switches yeah

That’s why I never bought them lol

[fluid ravine]

that just sucks
waste of potential right there

[cloud crane]

Gateron never misses the opportunity to miss an opportunity

[fluid ravine]

right???

[cloud crane]

😭

[fluid ravine]

like cmon
you name them milky yellows, MAKE THEM MILKY YELLOWS with MILKY YELLOWS

[cloud crane]

Fr

[fluid ravine]

im wondering why we're not experimenting with materials enough

like we got hmx here with the most interesting material combinations and we not puting it into use rn

[cloud crane]

That's what I'm saying 😭

[young viper]

Gravastar making a he switch circular has genuinely been the most inventive thing in a long time for he switches lmao

[glacial wind]

unironically very true. I only dislike that their casing is so awkward to open and needs to use multiple switch openers to do it

at least more brands are experimenting with things now though. Like TTC horse started with filling internal structure with extra bits

[fringe quarry]

raeds still better

[alpine lynx]

could anyone recommend a switch with good sound as well as top performance for esports? i want aesthetics but dont wanna sacrifice playing worse at tournaments etc

[glacial wind]

[broken notch]

Sno: Am I a joke to you

[undone sentinel]

My 60HE V2 arrived today, and the feel and sound of the keycaps are very different from my previous Optimum keycaps.

[orchid valve]

for 60he+ friction fit into alumaze case, how many layers of tape mod is safe?

[broken notch]

People tend to do 2-3

Just go one at a time and listen

[fluid ravine]

Typically you will hear an audible difference from 1-3 layers. In terms of safeness per layer, doesn't matter much. However don't use tape that is super adhesive like duct tape.

[broken notch]

Friction fit is fast and easy

[orchid valve]

ohhh, thank you both!

[fluid ravine]

[glacial wind]

gmk black snail for $68 secured

god bless geon

[frail hemlock]

For key- and pcbsnap too

[fluid ravine]

WOA

[sacred elm]

is this a Korea exclusive sale?

[glacial wind]

think so, there's nothing on global website about it

[sacred elm]

[glacial wind]

some really nice deals. keykobo retro mixed lights is on sale for sale price too, but pity getting split spacebar 1.25u for that is a pita

gmk black snail already sold out korea stock now lol

[orchid valve]

i should get the nova switches later today, which switch should i pick on the switch selector for now until it gets added?

[broken notch]

Same height

[sacred elm]

TTC KOM POM or RGB

[orchid valve]

ty!

[glacial wind]

hrm do i get the cream alphas for gmk black snail as well

[sacred elm]

same magnet strength and travel seems like

[glacial wind]

i can't decide if i like the cream row or now

[sacred elm]

cream number row looks nice

[humble surge]

Meh HUB Lite delayed to tomorrow

[glacial wind]

alright I added cream alphas

[broken notch]

Ez everytiem

[glacial wind]

i think it'll be my main personal use 80he set for awhile

picked up base set + novelties + cream alphas

[broken notch]

Nice

[glacial wind]

No split keys yet though at least until gmk mictlan delivers

[regal patio]

Switches like the keytok nova's or gravastar UFO'S are great

[regal patio]

Also they will be added to the beta switch selector

[bleak jolt]

Wassup gang

How’s your day going

quote of the day

[untold summit]

Hello guys, I think I will order this case... I wanted gt80 + keycaps, and then I discovered i need to pay taxes + shipping, so 250e is too much for just the case and keycaps for me... i have normal wooting 80he and want to try a new case.. Do i need to buy some case foam for it too, and where? 😄

@tropic urchin what do you think :3

[sacred elm]

No need to buy the foam, it's included

Also comes with the travel case

killer deal

[untold summit]

Niceee.. so just case is enough, noo need for anything else? Gpt keeps saying about 1000 different foams x)

Thanks for the answer 😄

[sacred elm]

no

[broken notch]

Don't ask chatgpt is the realest answer we can give rn

[bleak jolt]

I just orded 2 new sets of keycaps

I am happy

Life good

[little glen]

which ones

[bleak jolt]

Let me show u

[untold summit]

That's true x)

[bleak jolt]

first

simple and yet so beautiful

Second

[little glen]

nice

i am personally not super into the whole sublegends thing but it seems super popular

[bleak jolt]

but this one is just so clean

[bleak jolt]

its for my little brother hehe

[fresh bobcat]

any1 else have problem getting the switches out with the tool that you get with the keyboard?

[bleak jolt]

this right here is perfection for me

[bleak jolt]

its really bad. I bought a separate one

[little glen]

i like the second one quite a bit but the japanese sublegends make it look too busy imo so i wouldnt buy it

[bleak jolt]

the one that comes with the keyboard is really bad

[little glen]

yeah the switches are super tight in there, i'd recommend taking the plate off and pushing them out from underneath

[bleak jolt]

Yes. I wouldnt rock it either. Maybe if I remove some of the keys with the fox on it

[fresh bobcat]

I CANNOT get the switches out... I thought I was the only one.

[bleak jolt]

No the stock Switch remover is bad

[little glen]

i dont mind those personally, they add some flair

[sacred elm]

Disassemble the keyboard and pull from the plate or get a good metal puller

[bleak jolt]

Fair enough

[fresh bobcat]

and the correct way is to grab them top and bottom right?

[little glen]

yes the clips are there

[austere creek]

top and bottom and the lever them out by pulling the bottom edge up first

[little glen]

but again, pushing out from below is much easier and is less prone to breaking stuff

[fresh bobcat]

yeah, Ihave some extra i got with the keyboard, with stronger spring... wanted to test them

[broken notch]

I can recommend the WS switch puller, the titanium one

[little glen]

i have the TX puller and TX multitool and can recommend both

[untold summit]

I wanted these withthe green gt 80 but 250e... 🙁

[fresh bobcat]

i was hoping the plastic one will do.. dont want to scratch the board

[little glen]

GMK British Racing green + green gt80

[bleak jolt]

Green is not my thing but if i you like it go for it

[little glen]

#1400164754932109403 message

[untold summit]

Arrows are so similar to the green speed item i play on the game hahah

But too expensive 🙁

[little glen]

thats keycaps for you

they get very expensive very quickly

look into gmk botanical, sometimes you can find that set for cheap ish

i paid about 50-60 euro equivalent for mine

[untold summit]

Okay thanks, maybe they would look good with the white zinc too :3

[bleak jolt]

Imma be very honest.When you buy PBT keycaps that go higher than 50 usd you pay for the brand and custom designs

at this point there is no big difference in quality

[little glen]

This is it with silver case (not quite the same but close enough)

[bleak jolt]

Nice

[little glen]

trust me there is quite a difference in QC etc

[untold summit]

Ye nice

[little glen]

higher quality keycaps will have better legends, more consistent colors (between batches, and better matching to the renders)

[bleak jolt]

hmm.. I mean how much better is it supposed be to be ? Why should I prefer keycaps that are 150 usd over 50usd keycaps if it is the same material

[little glen]

plus you have the whole double shot vs dye sub vs printed thing

[untold summit]

Those are mine 33e from amazon

[bleak jolt]

I think for 50 usd you can expect high quality Double shot PBT's

Everything above that is just perfectionism

[little glen]

quality of the molds, quality control (throwing out caps that came out poorly), what blend of plastic they use (not everything is the same and not every pbt is the same as every other pbt, same with abs)

50 bucks will maybe get you ok basic black double shot caps

[bleak jolt]

So you're telling me I am going to see and feel big difference in quality betwee a 50 usd keycap and 100 usd keycap

[little glen]

but they are in no way equivalent to a 120 euro gmk set

[bleak jolt]

I mean I just ordered one set for 100 usd. So I will know soon but I cant really imagine

[glacial wind]

Is the Wuque sale still on?

You can get good quality doubleshot pbt for $50 there

[little glen]

a bad double shot will have inconsistent legends for example

[cloud crane]

DCS

[bleak jolt]

can show me an example

[glacial wind]

You can definitely see the difference in bad prints at times

[bleak jolt]

tbh, its not like I am constantly watching my keyboards

So i dont really care about the legends or if the font is not printed 100% accurately

[glacial wind]

Then that’s your preference and that’s okay. But life is about understanding that your preference isn’t everyone else’s preference

[bleak jolt]

I dont care tbh

Looks the same to me

[glacial wind]

Some people will want to pay more for those differences and that’s okay too

[bleak jolt]

Unless you are using a microscope while typing

[little glen]

these are some mild examples even

ive seen worse

[bleak jolt]

Surely, those examples you are referring to must be like very cheap keycaps from alibaba or smth

[glacial wind]

There’s also people who are happy to pay for neat looking sets that are pricey because they’re made in smaller quantities and have a properly licensed artist behind it

[bleak jolt]

I mean if I pay 50 usd or 100 usd for a keycap set I expect high quality

[glacial wind]

Trying to use the logic of ‘I only care about min max value of my preference’ is how you end up that old guy yelling at anyone enjoying anything

[bleak jolt]

Like I said. Custom Designs and Branding.

Plays a big role in the price politics

[glacial wind]

Well yeah but if everyone followed your method then we only get bow or wob keycaps and nothing else

Zero new designs, just everyone making Chinese clones

[bleak jolt]

I am not yelling at anyone. If you wanna pay hundreds if not thousands for keycaps, go for it.

[glacial wind]

Mass production stuff only

[bleak jolt]

Enjoy urself

[glacial wind]

I'm not sure what your point is then

to let everyone here know that you personally do not partake?

[bleak jolt]

Point is, you dont have to spend hundreds to get good quality keycaps

[glacial wind]

yeah, and no one said you do

however i can't get gmk black snail in same quality for $50 for example

i can get some neat wuque doubleshot high quality pbt sets for $50, but they won't be what I'm looking for design wise

different strokes for different folks.

if someone is happy with a more boring 1-2 tone set then go for it, no one here is looking down on them for 'only' spending $50 on keycaps

or even cheapie dyesub stuff. As far as I know no one here is saying anyone has to be in either crowd of buyers - buy what you enjoy

[little glen]

no, you HAVE to only buy state approved keycaps!!

[bleak jolt]

What happens if I dont

[little glen]

jail

[bleak jolt]

damn

[little glen]

15 years no parole

[polar girder]

The state will be forced to take drastic action.

[bleak jolt]

Who is in charge of the keycap police

[little glen]

hmmm

[chilly mural]

yesh, if it looks good enough to you it's good purchase to me

[little glen]

its a secretive council where nobody knows who is part of it

not even the members know the other people's identities

[glacial wind]

some of my favourite sets are cheapie dye sub, like my FBB sets

[little glen]

i still think those TUT YakeIt keycaps are great

[glacial wind]

yeah TUT are another great cheapie vendor

they're the ones who make the 80retros sets

[undone sentinel]

I’d like to ask if there are any keycap sets that are suitable for the Optimum case, preferably with a split spacebar

[bleak jolt]

so you are part of the philodophers legacy ?

[glacial wind]

i mean, it's a grey case so almost everything lol

what colors do you like

do you want blank or legends etc

[little glen]

i cannot say

[glacial wind]

if you want just blank similar to optimum keycap style, then there's pbtfans lyla

which is blank black with split spacebar keycaps included

[undone sentinel]

This is my first time buying third-party keycaps, so I don’t have any specific preferences yet. As long as they work well with the Optimum case, that’s fine — but they must have a split spacebar.

[glacial wind]

well the thing is you need to narrow it down for us, because the potential options are like hundreds

so we don't really know what to recommend unless you give us an idea of what you like

[bleak jolt]

hmm

[undone sentinel]

I like gray.

[bleak jolt]

My man

[little glen]

https://oblotzky.industries/products/gmk-cyl-dualshot-2 this looks good (in my opinion) and you can buy the split spacebar as an extra (from another store maybe at least)

[bleak jolt]

Good choice

[bleak jolt]

beautiful..

[glacial wind]

probably want to give a budget too

[little glen]

dualshot 2 was widely available so it should be fairly easy to find another store that has them

[bleak jolt]

But I dont have any money left to spend this month

[little glen]

thats true, if you are not ready to spend GMK money then dont do it

[glacial wind]

i believe that spacebar set of that is also a pita to find nowadays

[undone sentinel]

Oh my god, it looks so beautiful！

[glacial wind]

most places sold out their stock of it

omnitype has some left though if you really want last i saw

but yeah it's gmk so be aware it's all pricy

https://omnitype.com/products/gmk-dualshot-2-keycaps?variant=40415371624617

[little glen]

i go to the omnitype site and immediately see the funkiest keyboard design

https://omnitype.com/products/float65 what the hell

[bleak jolt]

damn. I might buy these next month. These kind of designs is one good reasson to pay the price

[thorn zealot]

I remember seein this like a yr ago

Sound isn’t that bad

[bleak jolt]

PLUS I love the PS2 Era

[glacial wind]

yeah dualshot 2 is one of the few GMK sets that also provide a 1.25u key too

[trail bane]

Holy60 By KBDFans but Hole65 by Omnitype

[glacial wind]

normally most sets even with split spacebar you're using a regular profile 1.25u key instead of spacebar profile

but gmk dualshot 2 has the spacebar profile one

[bleak jolt]

I NEED IT NOW. DAMN WHY YOU HAD TO SEND IT NOW

DAMN IT.

[little glen]

i thought you knew about dualshot

[bleak jolt]

NO

[little glen]

its def one of the better sets out there

[glacial wind]

and so falls another into spending $150 on keycaps

[bleak jolt]

I am a virign if it comes to this

I am still a baby

[glacial wind]

unfortunately most gmk is not as cheap as geons main sets

[little glen]

i still have my dualshot accents

[humble surge]

240$ on switches or 150$ on keycaps 🤔 🤔 🤔

[sacred elm]

both

[humble surge]

real

[trail bane]

There's a chance that you can find them aftermarket somewhere on Ebay kinda markets but be careful

[glacial wind]

geon did good work by having black snail and evil dolch being so reasonably priced and constantly in stock has been really nice

[bleak jolt]

For sure a lot of knockoffs right ?

[little glen]

black snail is a really good set tho gotta sayy

[glacial wind]

yeah black snail is great. For the price it's hard to find a better basic set

[untold summit]

.

[trail bane]

I'm even paranoid that someone might put fake keycaps in the original box and sell them for half the price of the original

[untold summit]

Maybe I should buy the green keycaps from PBT too :3

[bleak jolt]

that happens a lot with all kinds of products

[undone sentinel]

omg €116,81

[glacial wind]

it sounds like chika was not ready for the gmk pricing lol

[untold summit]

Are they wortch 100e

[bleak jolt]

Damn. As a Nintendo fan, this looks really good

[untold summit]

🫠

[trail bane]

You just need to know how to distinguish an original from a copy and, if necessary, find an option where you can return the purchase within a few days

[trail bane]

No one is ready

https://tenor.com/view/first-time-meme-first-time-the-ballad-of-buster-scruggs-gif-24656975

[undone sentinel]

This is my first time buying third-party keycaps — are high-quality keycaps usually this expensive? I’ve only bought two sets from Wooting before.

[glacial wind]

nah he just linked you gmk which is the upper end pricing

[little glen]

https://oblotzky.industries/products/gmk-cyl-cubed

[bleak jolt]

I mean from what I saw, min., 50 usd

[glacial wind]

you can get sets for $50 if you're worried about certain designs

[little glen]

or this https://oblotzky.industries/products/gmk-cyl-dmg-3

[bleak jolt]

please stop

[little glen]

[glacial wind]

https://shop.wuquestudio.com/collections/keycaps - some more budget friendly doubleshot pbt keycaps for $50

[little glen]

i can keep going all day

[glacial wind]

the designs are not as pretty but it's high quality for the price

[bleak jolt]

Okay this and dualshot 2 are on my wishlist

Now, we are just missing a Nintendo keycap designs with the red and white

[glacial wind]

FBB store on aliexpress is good one for even more budget friendly stuff, although the print quality may not be as top tier as gmk: https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1104999245

[sacred elm]

I think WOB keycaps look nice on Optimum case, and they're not that expensive @undone sentinel

[glacial wind]

but for the price it's hard to beat them at like $30 or whatever for an fbb set

[undone sentinel]

No worries, I’m going to order Dualshot 2 and the new Optimum.

[sacred elm]

[glacial wind]

don't forget you need the split spacebar kit too if you're using split

so you need base set + spacebar kit from it

[undone sentinel]

Thank you so much!! My English is really bad, so I really appreciate you taking the time to reply to me.

[broken notch]

Sno is the best

[glacial wind]

Hrm do I buy the gmk black snail artisan to round off my set

[broken notch]

Yes

But it

[glacial wind]

I’m undecided if I like it more than the regular novelty though

[broken notch]

Buy*

[bleak jolt]

At this point all of us should just bankrupt ourselves to buy more keycap sets

[broken notch]

Yeah

If I'm going down you are all going down with me

Atleast our keyboards are nice

[humble surge]

Could, but i have alot of other things to get/exchange/renew/swap/upgrade

One must evolve

[undone sentinel]

I bought a double-shot PBT keycap set, and the sound and feel are very different from my previous Optimum keycaps. Where do these differences come from?

[glacial wind]

I’ll sleep on it and decide tomorrow

[humble surge]

I misread that at first

[bleak jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-hayden-christensen-anakin-skywalker-you-underestimate-my-power-power-gif-5086193

[cyan lark]

Ooh, that's a cool novelty. And I'm a novelty hater.

[broken notch]

That's actually really sick

[bleak jolt]

Is that the ubisoft logo haha

[glacial wind]

Yeah some novelties are nice

[broken notch]

I want that but in a fossil

But alas

No dinosaur love

[bleak jolt]

lol at first I thought this was the ubisoft logo

[little glen]

Be the change you want to see in the world

[broken notch]

I did

I just can't make artisans

[little glen]

Design your own gmk set and put out an interest check

[humble surge]

What you really need is Raptor v3s with some cool color and good stability and feel

[broken notch]

I'm too busy. She says doing absolutely nothing

My current gig doesn't start until in two weeks

[humble surge]

:/

[bleak jolt]

ah yes, GMK does offer custom designs right ?

or do you guys know any company that offers such services ?

[humble surge]

Trips does

[bleak jolt]

link ?

[humble surge]

🙄

[broken notch]

Yuzukeycaps

Google or chatgpt or whatever that

[silent wadi]

r the keycaps good?

[humble surge]

420blazeit

[broken notch]

They're not gmk level but they're good for me

[bleak jolt]

ok

[bleak jolt]

cute

[broken notch]

The colors are clean and the same

Which is important

Any bleeding of colors is by design, so

[silent wadi]

awesome

[little glen]

trips how do you feel about the scene in the new (ish) jurassic world movies where chris pratt (crisp rat) calms down raptors by walking at them

[broken notch]

Strap in boys

This will be a long one

[humble surge]

GN

[silent wadi]

crisp rat

[little glen]

this is the only way i ever refer to that man

[broken notch]

Actually it makes no sense as these animals, while raised in captivity. are in no way domesticated. In jurassic park they are depicted as the antagonistic predator, however in jurassic world marketing somehow decided they'd be better as mascots. I hate it. It defeats everything jurassic park 1 through 3 established.

[silent wadi]

tis funny

[broken notch]

I'm holding back from typing more

[little glen]

i gotta say

that movie was not great™

i didnt see the movies before or after

[broken notch]

Jurassic world , all four of them are garbage

Just slop made to entice kids

[little glen]

but even with no prior knowledge i could tell it wasnt good

[broken notch]

Whereas jurassic park (og) was a thriller

[little glen]

and i was young when the first world movie came out

[silent wadi]

my only experience with jurrasic park was that awesome video game i played when i was younger

[broken notch]

Operation genesis most likely

The park builder?

Because trespasser was an awful awful game haha

[humble surge]

I mean we are also older, theres not many movies that truly thrill me.
Horror movies (even old and good) i usually laugh at cause i see behind the "magic", thrillers have nothing to give anymore, rest are i don't even know...

[silent wadi]

no it was lego jurassic world

[broken notch]

I still feel Jurassic Park aged incredibly well

Due to the puppets and animatronics

[humble surge]

So try to live up to that standard

[broken notch]

I saw it on the big screen again like 5 years ago

And I cried because it was just as good as I remember it

[humble surge]

Cute

[bleak jolt]

omg.. gmk retro jp keycaps

take my money

[humble surge]

I admit i cry on some movies/series where you wouldn't expect it, as a man. Not hiding it either.

[bleak jolt]

Interstellar.

[humble surge]

For example

[broken notch]

Also to loop back on topic, I like how they managed to print my intentional mistakes

I misaligned the color intentionally to get that old printer feel

On Mr. dna his bubbles, I mean

[silent wadi]

what is peoples obsessions with gmk

ive never tried them

[broken notch]

I think that's great

[little glen]

good products

[bleak jolt]

I like their designs .

[humble surge]

Seems human and non pretending

[broken notch]

Yeah

[little glen]

yeah its just good products and good designs

if you want a keycap set that you can stick with long term and love like your child then gmk is great

[silent wadi]

its so expensive though

[bleak jolt]

I have a couple on my wishlist already

[broken notch]

I want gmk shadow

[little glen]

and then you'll get 4 more and neglect the first one

[broken notch]

But alas

[little glen]

like a child

[broken notch]

Aftermarket gmk sucks

[humble surge]

GMK Selene :)

gib

[bleak jolt]

This is true

[little glen]

i want gmk dragon witch 🥀

[broken notch]

Look at these sick novelties

[humble surge]

also GMK Dune (but might order it again March/April)

[bleak jolt]

NOICE

[humble surge]

(hopefully ships this time)

[bleak jolt]

https://tenor.com/view/solo-leveling-jin-woo-gif-3162249797591862810

[broken notch]

But I think for the foreseeable time I will create my own designs

And sell them through yuzukeys

As you can make your designs purchaseable

[silent wadi]

this set is actually really nice

[humble surge]

How in tune are you with space?

[broken notch]

I love space

[silent wadi]

finding gmk keycaps is like impossible

[little glen]

what

its so easy

[humble surge]

Would you work on such if asked?

[tropic urchin]

Ppl buy for the quality, novelties, colors and themes

[broken notch]

Absolutely

[humble surge]

Okay i'll remember that for the near future

[silent wadi]

how

[broken notch]

What I need is a few inspiration pictures you personally like

[sacred elm]

GMK sound

[bleak jolt]

Pretty basic but yes, Simple is somtimes really nice

[glacial wind]

Gmk just comes in the most designs too, so for a lot of neat designs they happen to be Gmk

[humble surge]

Well yeah, mee too :)

[broken notch]

From which I create colorswatches and then you choose a color set

[little glen]

if you know the shops that carry GMK

[humble surge]

The payment is no problem ofcourse

[broken notch]

I do want a GMK set

At some point

[humble surge]

One thing for sure, i eventually will have to have a SWTOR based one made, to truly pay respects to my time with that game. That will be one of the ideas for sure.

[little glen]

i think more games should make their own gmk sets

i'd love an official warframe themed set

[cloud crane]

[bleak jolt]

lol. I mean .. It is a clone haha

70 bucks still lol

But some keys are different

[broken notch]

I have so many ideas ahaha

[little glen]

how does it already look bad in the preview

[broken notch]

The class icons are ideal for a cool esc key

[bleak jolt]

I know the printing looks bad

[humble surge]

I'm hoping eventually i get more inspired for more, currently in a very rough phase dealing with things, i can't often get my mind off those and think about creative things.

[broken notch]

I saw a really cool set earlier, uh, lemme find it

[little glen]

https://geekhack.org/index.php?board=132.0 i love browsing this forum to see what people have come up with

[sacred elm]

yeah stay away from clones, they have horrendous quality

These are so tempting for me due to nostalgia

[bleak jolt]

wow, very unique

[humble surge]

Gorgeous

[robust siren]

[broken notch]

They're old school hammer textures

[humble surge]

And i do have the Orange Box DVD box

so

[broken notch]

From the source engine days

Actually I should just pull the trigger before they're out of stock tbh

[humble surge]

Could make it work, but not with the case i have planned on getting

[little glen]

damn gmk gonzalez looks cool if it didnt have cadet sublegends 😭

[humble surge]

maybe later when i get a diff color case

[broken notch]

Sniped

[humble surge]

nope . com

[bleak jolt]

at least if u wanna scam us send us keycap links

[robust siren]

just get gmk pob

[little glen]

hmmm

maybe

[broken notch]

The problem with some of these pretty sets for me is simple

No additional keys for split spacebar

And I love my split nowadays

[humble surge]

actually, i could just get this for the Ghost, they put it in some similar semi transparent case on the pictures 🤔

[little glen]

gmk sloth

split space support built in

[broken notch]

Yeah

[humble surge]

Bookmarked it in case i have a hundred left to spend in March

[broken notch]

I'm pretty sure they ship pretty cheap too

[humble surge]

Thats fine

[glacial wind]

The 1.25u key is the most annoying for sure

Although that said a lot of people prefer just normal 1.25u. I know wootings set is normal profile 1.25u

I like spacebar profile 1.25u though, it feels easier to press for me

[broken notch]

You mean concave?

Or is the opposite

I always mix up concave and convex

[glacial wind]

Yeah the spacebar curve

[broken notch]

I think spacebar is convex

And normal keys concave

[cyan lark]

Easy way to remember: concave goes in, like a cave

[glacial wind]

Convex I think it is

[broken notch]

I know my custom keycaps specifically I made my two "spacebars" convex

[glacial wind]

The convex shape I find easier to swap over and press for me

[broken notch]

And the 1.25 concave

[glacial wind]

although right now I have the weirdest option

[chilly mural]

secret option: Knob

[broken notch]

A knob in the middle sounds like pain

[glacial wind]

All 3 keys are concave right now since cerakeys didn’t come with split option

So I’m using a blank mod kit for my spacebar keys

[broken notch]

Yeah, I had that too

With my previous set, a shift and an enter haha

You told me actually

To do that

[nocturne mango]

My v2 pcb and switches arrive later today and I was playing with the demo wootility just now. I couldn't find the macros section, and apparently wooting doesn't support on-keyb macros?! Is that true?

[broken notch]

:v

[sacred elm]

No macros

[little glen]

wooting does not support cheating

[sacred elm]

smh, beat me to it

[broken notch]

There's DKS for simple things though

Very very simple things

[nocturne mango]

I use macros on my pok3r to enter email addresses, passwords and other snippets of text

[sly palm]

There are enough other macro softwares like ahk if you want macros

[sacred elm]

Use third-party macro softwares

[nocturne mango]

I use AHK for involved/prompt based macros already

man this sucks.

[cyan lark]

Or better yet, a password manager.

[glacial wind]

Regardless of your thoughts on macro software, please do not use macros for passwords

That is extremely unsafe

[silent wadi]

same

[silent wadi]

yeah thats what most people do

[nocturne mango]

I use a pword manager

but on keyb macro software is foolproof vs ahk

even compiled ahk

[broken notch]

Huh

It's exactly the same

[nocturne mango]

bleh. should I refuse shipment or does wooting have a good return policy

[broken notch]

They have a good return policy

[little glen]

30 days return

[humble surge]

Delayed to April oof, was March 6th :/

[broken notch]

Ooft

[humble surge]

Footrest came in stock, but not getting it before this. Guess we just get the small cushion, lumbar support pillow needs a few weeks aswell

[nocturne mango]

Alright, thanks. Man I'm bummed tho. I bought two aula 60he just to try HE switches and love how they type. This was just for general EDC/sysadmin

I guess I could use a launchpad. these are snippets I have to enter dozens of times per day, the fn + key is so efficient and fast vs AHK (which I also use extensively)

I don't use a fancy keyb/macros for gaming, how do macros assist cheating?

[little glen]

let you execute certain maneuvers with 100% precision

[nocturne mango]

Wooting decided they wouldn't support it but what you all are saying is this isn't an impediment bc other utilities exist. Why draw the line there? I thought all that snappy cappy whatever stuff was also banned for gaming, but it's baked into the hw?

[little glen]

some examples are bunny hopping in games like counter strike or a simple example from league of legends would be zilean qwq combo where you could do it with frame perfect speed

[bleak jolt]

lord have mercy.. these look so good

[little glen]

macros have been historically banned from competitive games, while SOCD like rappy snappy has not and was only banned from one game after wooting introduced it

since wooting boards are primarily designed as gaming devices, being usable in a competitive tournament setting is important

[nocturne mango]

Oh, I misunderstood. I thought it was banned at the steam/VAC level, not per-game.

[sacred elm]

No

Only in CS2, osu

[nocturne mango]

got it

[nocturne mango]

ugh, any suggestions for a similarly awesome keyboard that does support macros? tmk AHK and other on-machine managers don't work for UAC, remote sessions etc.

[little glen]

not to my knowledge

could try a macropad if that sounds ok to you

[silent wadi]

yeah i have a macropad and its p great

although it takes some desk space if you can spare it

[sacred elm]

Wooting might release macros at some point, but it won't be on-board

[silent wadi]

i mean i dont see why they wouldnt

[bleak jolt]

cant you customize the macros with wooting or do you have to use a third party software ?

Im pretty sure I saw people on ytb using macros with a wooting

AutoHotkey should work just fine I think

[silent wadi]

3rd party

wooting has no macro support sadly

[bleak jolt]

what about this so called wootomation

[silent wadi]

its bad imo

just use a 3rd party software atp

[sacred elm]

abandoned

[little glen]

its unsupported, abandoned software

[bleak jolt]

damn

[little glen]

that is also just an autohotkey wrapper

[bleak jolt]

Which one would you recommed ?

[silent wadi]

i use macropad so i cant recomend anything for wooting

[bleak jolt]

I guess I will try out autohotkey

[silent wadi]

i think i tried that one a while back

it was p completcated

i had to learn a bunch of stuff

[nocturne mango]

Yeah, I've got an old max falcon 8 I use when things get really crazy. thx

[young viper]

The agent has purchased the kois

[tulip rapids]

be a man and buy it

[bleak jolt]

I will

[tulip rapids]

[tulip rapids]

how about i pay you and you keep my passwords safe

[cyan lark]

You can trust me 😏

[nocturne mango]

v2 pcb arrived, will it affect my return process to open the box and mess with it?

"Condition: Items must be in good condition, ideally in original packaging." guess not

[sacred elm]

As long as you don't damage it, no

[silent wadi]

wooting should make it so you can buy the daughterboard thing seperate from the case

[humble surge]

pog

[silent wadi]

im still thinking of buying kois

what is all the foam and stuff i should get

[young viper]

None and then you add till you reach your preference

[broken notch]

A common newbie mistake is buying everything at once without knowing what everything does

[fluid cape]

what is the difference between the lekker 45v2 and the "normal" lekker 45 ?

[sacred elm]

#💬│general message

[fluid cape]

thanks!

[silent wadi]

i js spent 400 dollars on a bunch of stuff

[young viper]

"my limit is like 150" yeah that was a lie

[humble surge]

hehh

[silent wadi]

for the switches 😭

ohh yeah i see why that was confusing

i meant like switches for the whole keyboard

dude looking back on that it makes so much sense now

i was so confused

why did i say it like that

i also went over 150 on switches lol

[young viper]

Which ones you order?

[silent wadi]

novas

i also bought a bunch extra and shipping

[young viper]

You should also just buy kois since their 50% off rn

Can't hurt

[silent wadi]

yeah lowk i could just buy a few

its like 10 for 25

[young viper]

35

[silent wadi]

35?

holy shit

[young viper]

Yeah, before shipping and tax, after it was like 30 bucks for 70

[silent wadi]

i could just spend 20 bucks and skip the f row

i mean im already in too deep

[young viper]

It's never too deep

Kois must expand

[silent wadi]

50% off

is crazy

koi sales must not be good

whats the catch i need to know

what if its just like an mx switch that has been hyper engineered to fit

[fluid ravine]

@dapper hazel keebmat has been delivered

[young viper]

Supposedly it's the same ones gore has

[broken notch]

The pinkies?

I went for RGBs, they're newer

[young viper]

My agent bought my rgbs today

It's different materials though so I'm expecting a totally different sound profile

Or at least deeper because I believe the bottom is pom

My bad the stem is pom and the housing is pa12

[young viper]

Yeah pink is slightly different

For context this is novas

Theoretically it could be deeper, but there's no telling till they get here

[silent wadi]

if i buy kois do i get 2 or 3 orders

2 order is is 70 and 13 keys are missing

but like 3 is 105

f1-f12 are 12 of the keys

and then i can do like print screen

[young viper]

Just do 3 orders so if you end up loving them you'll have some to Frankenswitch and you'll have enough to fill the board

[silent wadi]

true

its also like only 30 bucks

ill mow some lawns

[nocturne mango]

Whelp, just assembled. Now to figure out if I can live w AHK.

[fluid ravine]

[rare light]

Is the gt80 case the best case i can go with, with the 80he?

[stoic ocean]

What are their names?

They use the PA12 like the Keytok, but differently

[hard hawk]

I was looking at the ttc web for the ttc horse, is the spring length 21 like the flip or shorter?

[young viper]

I have all the stuff if I wanted to make a resin tofu redux😈

[young viper]

That's the koi rgb, the pink is the standard koi

[young viper]

Ego 80 I also like

Only can find it on Ali I've found though

[stoic ocean]

Are there any sound tests?

[young viper]

Nope, I'm waiting on mine to arrive and trips is as well

You have to purchase the koi rgbs through superbuy due to the fact there isn't any us retailers we've found

[rare light]

Im also looking for some cool switches and i found the flux deep clacky are those good?

[young viper]

Flux deep clacky, gravastar UFOs, keytok novas

All are good

I'd encourage looking at the sound tests

[young viper]

If you do go for flux deep clackys, they are dirt cheap rn on Ali Express compared to the official website

And their still the originals?

[young viper]

yep

Thats nice

[nocturne mango]

wow, this keyb feels great. what is a good travel distance for general typing?

[rare light]

Are the flux pre lubed on ali and wugue studios?

[young viper]

Yes

[sacred elm]

Were you able to use friction fit in this case or you swapped it out with the foam?

[nocturne mango]

spacebar and enter stabs aren't connecting/staying within those keys. spacebar rocking on the switch. any tips?

[nocturne mango]

tray mount w foam, and velvet between case and pcb

[young viper]

Send pics

[sacred elm]

Was too tight with friction fit pad?

[nocturne mango]

just barely too tight, could have shaved either case or maybe trimmed a tiny bit from silicone but not sure if I'm keeping pending macro

Spacebar

[young viper]

Pop the spacebar off and see if you can move the stabs up and down

[nocturne mango]

they move freely

[young viper]

Just want to check but usually you can press the spacebar down and it'll set in the stabs

[rare light]

Do you know how much i need to buy for the 80% layout?

[nocturne mango]

yeah that worked for other stab keys, maybe just this spacebar. I've got a bag of keys, I'll swap

Poor spacebar straight merked

oh yeah diff spacebar np

[sacred elm]

spacebar keycap probably has loose stem tolerance on the left side, add a small piece of plastic wrap or a tape on the stabilizer stem

should help

[nocturne mango]

smart, I'll try that on the enter key, not sure I have any SA profile in that width/row

\

[rare light]

How much pcs of the flux switches do i need to buy?

[lyric nimbus]

what is this FUCKED UP AND EVIL LOOKING BUILD

[nocturne mango]

SA vomit bro, cool kids only

[dapper hazel]

took only 3 month? :D

[sacred elm]

90

[nocturne mango]

oh yeah, new enter key fixed same issue. Have been using these keys for idk 8-10 years so prob just a little loosey-goosey

[silent wadi]

anyone have stab recomendations for 80 he? or are stock ones good

[dapper hazel]

use 1u keys only, no stabs needed :D

[silent wadi]

😭

[little glen]

stock are fine, if you want you can tune them or if you want something easier to get right, check out ws knight (v4) or typeplus x yikb stabs (these are my personal favorites)

[silent wadi]

are they lubed stock?

[little glen]

yes

they may need some work or not, it really depends on your individual unit

[silent wadi]

alright

[silent wadi]

wdym tune

i dont rly know much about stabs

the only other build i made i js used stock

[young viper]

Tune usually is just relubing the stabs and making sure the stab wire is straight

Personally I use the knight v4's though and I love them

However stock can work the exact same

[silent wadi]

rly?

what do you lube them with

[young viper]

This board sounds like it looks lmao

[young viper]

Krytox 205

If your in the us I can send the link to the stuff I use

[rare light]

Is every 80% keyboard the same quantity of switches?

[young viper]

Wooting also sells a lube kit I believe which is the exact same stuff

[silent wadi]

send

[little glen]

no

but 90 switches will cover every 80he model

[silent wadi]

you will be safe with 90 tho dw

[fluid ravine]

5 star experience

[nocturne mango]

sounds great in person now that I have those two keys fixed. my wonky sit/stand not helping anything.

[rare light]

And for the isolation if my case itself should i buy a foam and tape mod to get the best out of my typing expierience?

[young viper]

[silent wadi]

thx

i js spent 400 bucks on my 80 he now im getting kois and 205g0

its a never ending cycle of money

[sacred elm]

80HE comes with the foam and tape mod

[silent wadi]

should i lube housing and wire with this?

[rare light]

I only buy the module i use the gt80 as a case

[silent wadi]

you need daughterboard

[rare light]

The daughterboard comes with the gt80

[young viper]

https://youtu.be/usNx1_d0HbQ?si=HMY9yCucEEAjLVgl

[silent wadi]

ty

[silent wadi]

oh lol

im suprised they do that

[sacred elm]

Module without the case?

[silent wadi]

yes

you can do that

[sacred elm]

I know, but why?

[rare light]

You can buy the module separate on the wooting site

[sacred elm]

You're getting foam, daughterboard, great USB cable and an extra case for 10 bucks

[rare light]

Why should i waste money buying a whole keyboard with a case i dont want to just to rebuild it to another

[sacred elm]

what? you're literally paying almost the same price for just the daughterboard on kbdfans

[rare light]

Waste of money i better buy the module

So you mean i should by the wooting 80 he basic with plastic case and the rebuild it?

[sacred elm]

how's it waste of money, you're literally getting foam, daughterboard, cable and an extra case for $10, meanwhile you're paying $7 or something for just a kbdfans daughterboard

[sacred elm]

no, get 80he module with the plastic case

I'm not saying to get a prebuilt

[rare light]

Oh i see its really that cheap

[dapper hazel]

dont need one, just stuf fit in there, its not rocket science :D

also aliexpress has syringes and thicker needles for cheap

[sly palm]

thats what shafie means btw

[silent wadi]

yeah i would just buy the case

[rare light]

How is that plastic case that cheap😭

[rare light]

Can i buy it just like this witout switches? So only the module with the case?

[sly palm]

if you remove the module, it will be 40€

[sacred elm]

yes

[rare light]

Nice

[sly palm]

if you put the module in your cart, the case will be added automaticlly

[rare light]

So everything is in it foam and daughterboard i just need to buy the gt80 case wothout any add?

[sacred elm]

yes

when everything arrives, you just move the daughterboard from the wooting's case to gt80

[rare light]

Is there any other tipps you can give me for the best sound? So are there more ways expect tape and foam?

Or is it enough to get a good sound

[sacred elm]

switches make the biggest difference

you can try different plate material

[young viper]

I never used a syringe

[sly palm]

also, sound is a preference thing, no one can tell what the best sound for you would be but you

[silent wadi]

preference is this servers favorite word

[sly palm]

well yea

[silent wadi]

holy shit

[sly palm]

[tropic urchin]

I mean what are you supposed to tell the thock tok kids asking for the creamiest and most bussin keyboard

[austere creek]

its because its the reality and people just think theres some objective best

[tropic urchin]

And about half of them shove orings in their switches or apply foam underneath their switches and wonder why the actuation is messed

[sly palm]

this messes with my well being

[austere creek]

one would think with the internet being available people can build their own opinions and preferences instead of being sheep but here we are

[tropic urchin]

Real

[nimble marlin]

If Im gonna grab a 60he v2 with the lecker mediums what keycaps/case would you guys reccomend?

[sly palm]

you wont belive what I am about to say, but it's about preferences

[nimble marlin]

I guess, I haven't really had that many keyboard experiences though

I don't know what typing angle I prefer, nor if I want something like a holy60 or a sealed case

[little glen]

generally, sealed case is a better bet if you would like good sound

but at the end of the day its all preference and if you like the looks of holy enough you can excuse the lacking sound

[sly palm]

The holy case is more of a eyecatcher imo, i don't really like it that much

[sly palm]

Yup

[little glen]

you are getting lekker tikken medium yeah?

[sly palm]

The best word "preference"

[vagrant aspen]

Noo not the P word

[little glen]

yeah honestly just find something you like the looks of, and odds are that you can make it sound decent

[nimble marlin]

I think so, looking for the best switches I can put in here and its a tossup between the gateron jades and the mediums

[little glen]

if you would like some suggestions to look at i can mention a few

[little glen]

never jades

jades are 💩

[nimble marlin]

really? everyone was glazing them

[little glen]

maybe like 2 years ago

switch game changes fast

[nimble marlin]

yeah Im pretty out of the loop, mediums the way then?

[sacred elm]

Jades are outdated and not worth it anymore, check this and listen to sound tests #🪛│modding_faq message

[little glen]

if you want the current top tier take a look here:

i personally have lekker tikken, flux deep clack and ttc horse and can say they are all good, tho i prefer flux and horse over tikken

[nimble marlin]

They both sound good, I'm sure I'd be satisfied with either but the tikkens just make more sense price wise

[sacred elm]

Yes, Tikkens cost $20 with the v2 module so get them

[little glen]

the tikkens are for sure the cheapest by quite a bit but flux are also fairly cheap if you buy them on aliexpress

[nimble marlin]

So is it worth buying the optimum case or the other aluminum case options from wooting or is there a renowned 3rd party I should check out for a closed metal case?

[sacred elm]

For case, optimum is nice, v2 alu case is also good and cheap with the module, kbdfans gt60, meletrix zoom64, tofu60 redux

[nimble marlin]

and gmk still on top for keycaps?

[sacred elm]

gmk, keykobo, kbdfans

[little glen]

maybe also take a look at frog mini leggera, tho that one is not friction fit compatible

but, again, if you prefer the look of one over the others you should probably go for that one

[nimble marlin]

is there any real difference between the alumaze and the v2 aluminum case other than aesthetics?

cuz $70 isn't too bad

[little glen]

its all mainly aesthetics tbh

[nimble marlin]

gotcha

[lyric nimbus]

ngl i should

make the 2he modding guide

[little glen]

so check out all the cases we mentioned and choose the one you like best looks wise

[nimble marlin]

and the kit contains everything I need to build it right?

[lyric nimbus]

i should be qualified for it?

[little glen]

if you arent, then noone is

[sacred elm]

For example what?

[nimble marlin]

to assemble everything

I had a rough time with a bakaneko60 kit a few years ago because parts were missing

[sacred elm]

Everything's included

screws too, although you don't need them since v2 module comes with the friction fit pad

[lyric nimbus]

[silent wadi]

i see you writing

[trail bane]

Gn

[sly palm]

Please do me a little favor and remove one of the two "and" in the keycap section, I am rage baiting myself by looking at it the whole time

[lyric nimbus]

FUCK

[sly palm]

Thank you

[amber dagger]

does the friction fit pad come with a grounding sponge

[sacred elm]

case comes with it

only optimum, v2 and owlab

for other cases you'll need to install one screw or add a conductive sponge yourself

[amber dagger]

i have redux
